Building on their success with their debut single Sulphur, Jean-Louise and Alex Parker of Academie have launched their first EP entitled Volumes. Joined by anything from sax to a brass section to a full choir at live shows, the wife and husband duo from Johannesburg, South Africa, known for their performances with the bands Dear Reader (Jean-Louise) and ISO (Alex), take their audience on a sensitive but exciting journey with a live show that really packs a punch. Jean-Louise transports listeners with her ethereal and haunting vocals and vocoder effects while Alex, on drums and synthesizers, delivers a meditative electronic back-beat. Jean-Louise on viola and electric guitar contributes to a sombre tone cut through with occasional displaced abstract infusions from the sax. Exciting rhythmic and melodic variations lend this stylistically eclectic band an anthemic quality.

The incredible Cherilyn Macneil of Dear Reader will also be performing some songs.

Sharp vocal harmonies, aggressive and noisy guitars, brutal bass, add here a honey pop touch gazing the nervous breakdown, and it's now impossible to stick a definitive label to their sound. On stage, they rage in fierce and convincing performances. With the release in 2015 of their mini album SLEEP SLEEP and their generouse and convincing live performances, they take over German where they play around 40 shows between 2015-16, alongside Austria, Czech Republic, Poland and a few more. Now, in 2017 they release their new album TIGHT on the german label KIDNAP MUSIC. And even if the album is far away from what we call 'mainstream', TIGHT is considered as one of the most beautiful noise-records these days."
